ESTHET4C CONCERT.

The Garfield was crowded last night and
all who were present were anxious before
the curtain rose to see what was to be
given them as an aesthetic concert" The
novelty of the entertainment struck the
right cord, and everybody was well
pleased with the ''asthetieism" displayed
during the evening The programme was
given as it was published with a few raria-
tons, and all who participated went
through with their respective parts to the
entire satisfaction of the audience Miss
Dessa johnson, although suffering
from severe cold, sang the
Flower Girl" and also took part
in the duet "Qaarreling Neighbers in a
manner that was very pleasing. The bass
solo by Mr.. Bion Hull was well rendered
and was good selection. Miss Lila B.
Foster in the solo ''Waiting" proved con-
clusively that her voice is one Of rare
sweetness, and her number was loudly ap-
plauded. "a Song Fer Me, . sung by Mrs.
Hatty Price SO captirated the audience
that an encore was vociferously demanded
and given by the fair singer.
The second part of the program was the
most highly aesthetic, and in this section
the audience more fully real
lied what an aesthetic concert
really consists of. The idea promulgated
was quaint and novel one, and consisted
Of curtain on which was painted all the
favorite flowers Of the great idealist, Oscar
Wilde, from the pansy to the Kansas sun
flower In the center of each flower ap-
peared the laughing face Of some young
lady or gentleman, while above was the
man in the moon with black eye and
near the pale Luna scared a huge
butterfly, and the flowers laughed
and sang, and the effect was novel, start
ling and pretty. "Aestheticism" made a
decided hit last night and the people of
Wichita will have an opportunity of rgain
attending an aesthetic concert.
At the close of the entertainment the
audience unanimously voted in favor of a
repetition of the concert, and the manage
ment will make the necessary preparations
and give the next date as soon as possible.

HE SEES THE POINT.

Capt. Edward Muhleman, of Martin s
Ferry, O., leaves this morning on return
trip The captain has been in the city a
number Of weeks, looking after his inter
ests. Long before he law Wichita he was
led to believe in the city's greatness by a
friend who came here, and as a result
made some real estate and business invest
ments which have brotght him good re-
turns as would be expected. His connec-
ton with the Nelson Glass works at Mar
tins Ferry, which is one OF the largest
establishments Of the kind in the Ohio
valley, and other business matters
prevented him from visiting the city
until close application of Office had so
affected his health that a vacation became
imperative. As he should have vacation
he naturally turned an eye toward the
glorous climate of Kansas. and the busy
metropolis of the southwest, where he for
years had been pecuniarly interested. The
proverbial slow growth OF the towns Of his
section had not prepared him to see Wich-
tia. That Wheeling, his acquaintance for
years, and on the map for a century, for
years the capitol Of the state but
now the eX-capitol should be smaller IN
population than Wichita, q youth of fifteen
and in business not equal to half Wich-
tia, were facts that could not be believed
except by seeing and then the eyes almost
questioned While accustomed to manu-
featuring cities in the vicinity OF coal, iron
and the ingredients of glass he was quite
able to observe the fact that cities grown
in the absence Of the above materials and
that other resources quite as important,
grown large and busy cities in the west.
Taking the results he found he could
with little observation find the causes
producing them.
The captain leaves the city fully i'm
pressed with its importance, and has made
some new investments as evidence of his
faith il its present and future importance
He has gained twenty pounds since he as
rived, which is another most invaluable
feature as estimated by himself.

MEETING OF BoRD OF COMMISSIONERS.

The county commissioners held meet
ing yesterday at the county clerks Office
to consider the petition presented them by
Mr.. Geo. II. Gutenberg, asking the board
TO call an election to vote Sl00, 600 bonds
for the erection of court house. The pc
tition showed near nineteen hundred
| names taken from city and county. The
bearer of the petition stated that few, very
few, of those who were introduced to the
petition refused to sign Probably half
dozen men had refused and most of them
| stated that if they had a chance to vote for
bonds they would probably take kindly to
| the proposition.
The petition as circulated called
for court house and
said nothing of Jail building. The
board in considering the question seemed
to agree that a new Jail building is needed
even more than new court house. They
did not seem willing to call an election for
the latter alone and some even questioned
their power TO call an election for bonds to
erect a new jail building without being
presented with petition asking the same.
Some, however, claimed that the board
could cali an election without being pre-
sented with petition, but to satisfy all,
petition was circulated few hours and
received number of signers asking the
board TO call an election to consider bonds
amounting to 100000 for Jail
building 1t was returned TO the
board and all seemed to agree that
they would be willing to call an election
asking S200,00 bonds for the erection of q
court house building and Jail building.
When petitions were presented the board
another difficulty presented itself which
deferred final action The claim of Mrs.
Munger to the block brought about a
trouble that it was believed would be felt
in election and if bonds carried the
board would not enjoy such valuable
buildings going up on disputed ground.
To overcome this difficulty some gentle
men interested in the matter undertook
the task of effecting a compromise between
Mrs Munger. The latter on being inter
viewed on the question offered to take
$4,000 and release all claim to the block
When this step was gained
some gentlemen went to work to get that
amount, and in behalf of the county do
nate it to Mrs. Munger to end the legal
fight, 50 the board will call an election to
accept or refuse bonds. The board seems
determined not to call an election until
the trouble is settled, and it is believed
that in few days, possibly today, the $15
600 will be raised, and then the board will
call an election. The commissioners viii
hold another meeting this evening to con-
side the question, and as soon as title is
perfected will determine date of election.

They tell me Of city fair;
Where spires are towering in the air
Whose site has now majestic grown
With stately mansion, sculptured stone
And like enchantment, though It's new,
Its walls now rise isT heavens blue.
Fair Wichita, of all the best,
We hail this city of the west.
Then let the clank of hammer sound,
And hum of business here abound
The hidden spring, the golden key
To happiness and liberty.
And give to her the poets song,
This lovely city and her throng;
For far the best we ever saw
Her prospects are-fair Wichita.
